Strawberry and Banana Tofu Smoothie

8. May, 2009

When I was working in Denmark during a couple of my summer holidays I used to train horses. Each morning I had to go out and feed them and it so happened that I crossed a small strawberry patch. Being a strawberry lover, I used to pick a handful each morning on my way to tending the horses. The family did not understand, why, after the summer there were so few strawberries, they thought it had been a particularly bad year for the strawberries, but in fact it was all because of me.

This is a thick and lovely smoothie, almost like a meal in itself (or a dessert even). Don't be scared to try the tofu (make sure it is soft/silken) it won't give you any "tofu-taste" as it tastes of nothing really. Tofu is rich in protein and is suitable for vegans and vegetarians.Tofu is low in calories, contains a relatively large amount of iron and little fat. I like to use tofu in moderation (the isoflavones can have both harmful and beneficial effect on the body, depending on how you cook it and use it) and it is very important that you use only Non-GMO tofu (not genetically modified). Just read the labels carefully. You can use Greek yoghurt (thick yoghurt) instead of tofu if you prefer.
